It took quite a while before it finally quieted down completely.
Ji Xiuyuan's jaw dropped to the ground in shock: "Holy crap! That was close! We almost perished in this hail of arrows. It's really strange. When we were stationed at Wuxian Mountain, we never saw any crows around here. Where did these crows come from?"
"Yes, that's really strange." Lu Zhaofeng said awkwardly, "Where did that baby crying come from?"
Ji Xiuyuan: ...
He heard nothing.
The rain gradually subsided.
Ji Xiuyuan led an elite force and surrounded the entire mountain from behind.
General Lu received Consort Shu's secret letter and submitted a memorial to Emperor Yuanwu overnight, leading his men to provide support.
The sky in the east had just begun to lighten.
General Lu's reinforcements have arrived at Wuxian Mountain and joined up with Lu Zhaofeng.
"Father, what brings you here?" Lu Zhaofeng asked in surprise.
"It was your sister who sent me a letter, saying that the Ning Kingdom's army had already laid an ambush here. There was a heavy rain, a landslide on the mountaintop, and a mudslide. She was worried that you might be in danger, so she sent me to check on you," General Lu said in detail.
"Sister?" Lu Zhaofeng asked, puzzled.
My sister spends all her time in the deep palace; how could she possibly know about fighting while ill?
Even though she was by the emperor's side, she overheard some things.
But how did his sister know about such an unpredictable natural disaster as a landslide on the mountaintop?
Lu Zhaofeng couldn't help but recall some of the rumors circulating about Consort Shu's childbirth.
"Father, have you seen the seventh princess that my sister just gave birth to?" Lu Zhaofeng asked cautiously.
General Lu frowned: "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"No." Lu Zhaofeng rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand: "I was just thinking that my niece has been born for so long and I haven't seen her yet."
"Last time in the Imperial Study, His Majesty did carry her there, but she was asleep at the time and we didn't get a good look at her." General Lu said with regret in his eyes, "However, the 100-day celebration is coming soon, and we will be able to see her then."
Lu Zhaofeng stopped talking, but had other thoughts.
However, we still need to deal with the big problem of Ningguo first.
Only then can his niece have a happy 100-day celebration.
Lu Zhaofeng vowed to defeat the Ningguo army that was lying in ambush on the mountain.
I truly experienced what it means to say that going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard.
Everything is ready.
Lu Zhaofeng led his elite troops, fighting their way up the mountain...

Qiluan Garden.
When Consort Shu returned to her palace, it was already dawn.
She walked to Mu Qianqian's crib and saw that her daughter was sleeping soundly. She affectionately touched her daughter's face.
Her fingertips just touched her daughter's temple.
Consort Shu paused heavily between her fingers.
Why is my daughter's hair wet?
Consort Shu thought that the room was stuffy from the heavy rain last night, and that the blanket she had given Mu Qianqian might have been too thick.
She took a handkerchief from beside the crib and wiped the "sweat" off her forehead, then took a slightly thinner blanket.
Consort Shu wanted to help her change into some dry clothes.
But the moment her fingertips touched Mu Qianqian's clothes, she froze.
"Why are your clothes wet too?"
Having not slept all night, Mu Qianqian was moved around like this a couple of times, and she forced herself to open her eyes a crack, struggling to stay awake.
[Mommy, I'm sleepy.]
"Your Highness, did the Seventh Princess wet the bed?" Bin'er seemed to have thought of something: "I'll go and get a clean set of clothes and bedding for the Seventh Princess."
